End of the Beginning

I was taking a trip on a plane the other day
 Wishing that I could get out
 When the man next to me saw the book in my hand
 And then asked me what it was about
 So I settled back in my seat
 "A best seller," I said, "a history and a mystery in one"
 And then I opened up the book and began to read
 Of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
 He was born of a virgin one holy night
 In the little town of Bethlehem
 Angels gathered round him underneath the star
 Singing praises to the great "I AM"
 He walked on the water
 Healed the lame
 And made the blind to see again
 And for the first time here on earth
 We learned that God could be a friend
 Though he never ever did a single thing wrong
 The angry crowd chose him
 And then he walked down the road and died on the cross
 And that was the end of the beginning

 "That's not a new book, it's a Bible" He said
 "And I've heard it all before
 I've tried religion, it's shame and guilt
 I don't need it anymore
 It's superstition, a made up tales, just to help the weak to survive"
 "Let me read it again", I said
 "But listen closely, this is gonna change your life"
 He was born of a virgin one holy night
 In the little town of Bethlehem
 Angels gathered round him underneath the star
 Singing praises to the great "I AM"
 He walked on the water
 Healed the lame
 And made the blind to see again
 And for the first time here on earth
 We learned that God could be a friend
 Though he never ever did a single thing wrong
 The angry crowd chose him
 And then he walked down the road and died on the cross
 And that was the end of the beginning

 "The end of the beginning", he said with a smile
 "What more could there be? He's dead
 See they hung him, put nails in his hands
 And a crown of thorns on his head
 I said, "I'll read it again, but this time there's more
 I believe this is true
 His death wasn't the end but the beginning of life
 That's completed in you
 Don't you know, he did all this for you"
 He was born of a virgin one holy night
 In the little town of Bethlehem
 Angels gathered round him underneath the star
 Singing praises to the great "I AM"
 He walked on the water

 And though he never ever did a single thing wrong
 The angry crowd chose him
 And then he w
 Cross and that was the end... o
 But three days later, three days later, three days later...
 He rose! Three days later He rose!
 You see, He came, He lived, and He died,
 But that was the end of the beginning.
